Matthew 13:44 – Parable of the Treasure

MT13:44 “The Realm of Heaven may be compared to[1] a treasure hidden in a field.[2] When a person found that hidden treasure out of sheer joy he went and sold everything he possessed[3] and bought the field.[4]

*

[1]May be compared to: Something about the Church of Christ is so precious it is worth selling every thing to obtain.

[3]Sold everything he possessed: This is a command Jesus gave to some persons, including his personal apostles (Matthew 19:21; Mark 10:21; Luke 12:32, 33; 18:22). The early Christians actually did this (Acts 4:34, 36). Paul also made such sacrifices (Philippians 3:7).

[4]Bought the field: The lesson may be: sometimes it is worth getting rid of everything to obtain something far more wonderful. The treasure is likely the opportunity of membership in the Christian Church, the realm of profession under the rule of the Lord Jesus Christ. There is a Proverb which says: “Buy truth itself and do not sell it-wisdom and discipline and understanding.” (Proverbs 23:23 NWT) To attain these Christine privileges and their promises it is worth loosing everything to obtain it. Jesus taught: “The one who sacrifices his being for me will gain it.”

Originally posted on Antidotes for Chimps: Photo by Peter Lloyd on Unsplash One of the most stinging ironies of our species is the pursuit of happiness, an idea that is tragically self-defeating. Like the donkey being pushed forward by a glistening carrot that will forever elude him, pursuing happiness will position it just out of reach, but close enough for…

In case each individual were to greet every person that they meet, by giving them a warm smile, bowing, waving or through a firm hand shake, all of the energy will be positive. Robert JR Graham writes The results or outcome of taking the initiative with just a mere friendly greeting would be a state […]
